| Looking down from the 27th floor |
I was back working in New York, lucky me.
Every morning I walk a few blocks down Lexington Avenue,
colloquially known as "Lex”. I am on the East Side of Manhattan, mid town.
Lexington
Avenue became part of a classic cinematic moment in the 1955. In the movie The Seven Year Itch, the
scene in which Marilyn Monroe was shot
standing on a subway grating, her skirt billows up from the wind underneath.

Into Grand Central Station I walk. And up to the 27th
floor of the MetLife Building
(formerly the PanAm Building). A remarkable view, that constantly distracts me;
looking south on a ‘canyon’ that changes colour almost be the minute as the
sky, light and clouds transform buildings, sidewalks and traffic.

| Dear Lexington Avenue |

| More Park Avenue |
A small part of a big and exciting city
that never fails, since my first visit in 1987, to impress, entertain and
enthrall.
